Police in Burundi have dismissed as rumours reports that the country had been infiltrated by the rebel group FDLR, even as Rwanda is reported to be closely monitoring events in the neighbouring country.
“It is not true. There are no Interahamwe or FDLR in Bujumbura, let alone in Burundi. These are rumours being spread to scare people,” the head of Burundian Police Ndereya Ndayambaje said.
